Daza85 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have had this issue with my focus 2008 1.8 tdci that I get vibration through the drivers seat or floor not through the steering wheel of the gear stick nor the break pedal. I have had the car tracked and balanced twice in the last few days but it's still there. So thought I'd ask about see if anybody has had similar issues or an idea of what it could be.

TomsFocus Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are you having the rears balanced? If its not through the wheel or gearstick it suggests its not something up front to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi I had the same problem as you I've had the wheels balance 3 times tracking done from ford garage they did say they are all the same all said and done its a ford Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza85 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi all thanks for the replys thought I'd give a lil more detail vibrating is most prominent 70 and above I can dip the cluck at 80mph and shaking is still there. So guess that rules out a large proportion of clutch, fly wheel, gearbox and belts. I have had the car tracked and balanced front and rear adjustments have been made. But still there, I have have the discs/rotors replaced in July last year but front were replaced again due to warping could this cause the car to shake if an issue at the rear or would I feel it through the breaks? Anymore ideas are much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy_315 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I would suggest it was at the rear of the car if not through the steering. You hit any potholes and maybe damaged an alloy? That would give the same chassis vibration. I had the same on the front alloy and swapped to rear so the vibration wasn't through steering until I could replace the wheel.

TomsFocus Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Rear discs don't often warp as there's so little braking force/heat put through them. But even if they had, it would be felt while braking rather than just cruising so I wouldn't think that's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi just have you toque the wheel up properly with the wheel off the ground Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I am only saying this because when my car went for service I had the same as you are having but now it's fine after they tighten all the wheel nuts up Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza85 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi John, Yea the wheels have been torqued while at the garage I will get a second opinion on the rear balance of the rear wheels. Maybe move rears to front see if steering starts playing up instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza85 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Does anyone know if the DMF could cause this type of fault? Plus what are the signs of a DMF failing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
